I had a new car that also came with a Sirius radio and 3 months free. I tried it, but found it often dropped out while driving through forested roads in my area. That made it annoying to listen to. I stopped using it.

Yes, the List of numbers page is inadequate. When I give a monetary gift, I like to make it start with an interesting number. And then I ask the recipient (e.g., my kids, or neices/nephews, etc) if they can figure out what the number i
